how often to change belts/hoses? I have about 45K miles on my 2K max and have the stock belts/hoses.. I changed the tranny, engine oil, and air filter. I still have the stock battery too. Im planning on flushing the coolant and installing new belts/hoses. Too soon? While I am at it I will be installing a new battery, changing the ATF, engine oil, PS fluid, and maybe some syth blinker fluid (im really just kiddin w/ the blinker). Anyway I dont want to do this unless I need to but I wont complain doing the maintence. Input would be great. Im a paranoid maintenece person.

 

i get my battery tested every month for free =)
belts and hose should be inspected every 3k miles im paronid. you can see sign of the belt crackin or the hose about to burst. if it look abnormal change it =) usually every 60k
